RE: Erickson Retractable Tie Downs
every time I turned to look for a tie down, BAM!, there it was. Well oiled machine I tell ya ;)
Yep, between the organized tie downs and my Swift Hitch there's NOTHING LEFT for us to argue about, ever!
RE: Erickson Retractable Tie Downs
Yo D, your kidding right ???? I could just picture MDW's responce if I gave her a set " Ya right, and what do you think your going to do with these"
No really honey they're to tie down the RZR, really!?!?!
Only half kidding. My wife and daughters are in charge of organizing and stowing all the tie downs when we set up camp and then arranging them again when it's time to pack the bikes up at the end of the trip. If we get to camp late in the evening on a Friday, then they just wad all the tie downs in a pile under one of the beds. It's miserable on Sunday when it's time to go. These would be a huge time-saver for them.
Luckily she's not MY mom (and MY mom doesn't ride). :B
RE: Erickson Retractable Tie Downs
Also, Checker Auto had them for $20 for a set of 2. One of the better prices I've found.
That's not bad. Pretty tempting.
These might make a nice Mothers Day present for Pam. :B
RE: I'm back (well sort of)
Your story really helps put things in perspective. The last two years have been pretty rough, but I wouldn't want to give them up either.
Glad to have you back. Hope you continue to make good progress and put the pieces back together.
RE: Greenball Tires???? Any good?
Once you make it over the Grapevine to Santa Clarita there are plenty of tire stores to chose from (supporting lots of RV owners).
Mike's Tires is a good source. Mike is a PITA, but his prices are fair and his shop's service is very good. Exit I-5 at Valencia Blvd and turn East. Valencia becomes Soledad Canyon after about three miles. Mike's is on Soledad.

RE: TRAVEL TO MEXICO
I had my first good 2-wheeler wipeout down there and my dad's buddy Neil Grider took the bike home to "fix it". If you listen to his son Andy Grider talk about his first bike on Dust to Glory he's talking about my old red & white Mini Enduro. He obviously had better luck with it than I did.
By the way, my mom just now emailed me with greetings from Neil from San Felipe. Andy was a co-driver with Robby Gordon and they just came in 2nd in the Baja 250 in the Trophy Truck class.
RE: Erickson Retractable Tie Downs
Not sure how to make it a link but the web site does have a video for the tie downs.

RE: TRAVEL TO MEXICO
My 2¢... it's to cause FEAR and ANXIETY to keep the "spring break" vacationeers close to home. Spend their money only in the USA.
Then why no travel warnings for Acapulco even after the recent killings there? I'm as cynical as the next guy, but if Uncle Sam were just trying to keep the gringo bux at home, then they (we) wouldn't be so silent about Acapulco.
RE: TRAVEL TO MEXICO
We used to drive down to Mulege every Spring Break from '75 - '83. I had my first good 2-wheeler wipeout down there and my dad's buddy Neil Grider took the bike home to "fix it". If you listen to his son Andy Grider talk about his first bike on Dust to Glory he's talking about my old red & white Mini Enduro. He obviously had better luck with it than I did.
Then we moved our spring breaks (and any other chance we had to ditch town) in San Filipe until about '86.
Mexico was an awesome playground. We treated them well and they treated us well. I'm sorry it's gone downhill so badly that I can't take my family there.
Seems like it's all part of the wimpification of my kids' generation. Just another brick in the wall.
RE: Bed sheets
Remember when riding was your bike, ice chest, folding chair a sleeping bag in the back of the truck! What has happen to us!!!
We got married. :B
RE: WD Hitch with Air Bags

Here's your first clue:
I asked the Service Writer at a local RV shop (CW)

RE: Bed sheets
Make my drink a 'pink squirrel', start rapping about duvet covers and you can count me in!!!
Will do. I have some ideas on how to remove that bath tub to make room for the bidet.
RE: Bed sheets
Is it my imagination, or has the TH forum turned into Bed, Bath & Beyond?
Maybe we could arrange a little get-together and discuss these topics over apple martinis and pedicures? :R :S
